New submission from Masato HASHIMOTO: The behavior of Path().rename() is same as os.rename() (replaces silently if dest file is already existent on Unix) but it's difficult to catch from current pathlib documentation (I found it from source of pathlib) from comparing with replace().
IMHO, it should be described on pathlilb documentation. ---------- assignee: docs@python components: Documentation messages: 266883 nosy: docs@python, hashimo priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: Doc/pathlib: Please describe the behaviour of Path().rename() is depends on the platform (same as os.rename()) type: enhancement versions: Python 3.4, Python 3.5, Python 3.6 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue27180> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
